Bed Frames Buying Guide
Importance of choosing a bed frame
Choosing the correct bed frame is often overlooked but the quality of design
can add a dimension to your bedroom and complete the style you have decided on.
The wrong frame can detract from the overall effect of the room. A quality bed frame
will provide a basis for a good mattress and give you a better quality of sleep as well as correct posture.
The bed frames we stock come in varying styles, functions and colours as well as sizes and finishes.
We stock King Size beds, Double beds, Single, Twin and Bunk beds which
are available in the following finishes:
Oak Beds
Painted Beds
Pine Beds
World Beds
The Twin beds have a pull out frame that lies beneath a single
bed creating another single bed.
Bunk beds, which are all tested to British Standards,
are single beds that can be arranged on top of one another,
great for smaller spaces and children who share a room as it provides
privacy for each child. All the bunk beds can be dismantled into two single
beds if needed making the purchase economic if intended for long term use as
the children grow older.
The size of the beds vary as follows:
Single Bed:3 feet in width
Double Bed:4 foot 6 inches in width
King Size Bed:5 feet in width
The height of the bed you buy is an important consideration, ensure
that when you add the mattress the bed is comfortable for you to get in and
out of easily. Low bed frames are easier for those with mobility difficulties.
The beds we stock all vary in height, consider the following:
Mobility: getting in and out easily
Children: do you have small children who climb into the bed? A very high bed can be hazardous.
Style: Consider the effect of high and low beds on the overall style of the room.
You must also consider being able to manoeuvre the bed via the access points
into the room. Most of the beds we sell come part assembled, dimensions are given
on the website of bed frames, but please call if you are in any doubt.
Many of the beds can be bought with a discounted mattress if purchased together.
We have suggested a variety of mattresses that are suitable for the frame with varying
levels of support.
When choosing a style of bedframe, it is worth considering a high or low foot end depending
on the following:
Low foot end beds are most suitable for:
Smaller bedrooms; the low foot end will not clutter the room and will give easier manoeuvrability
around the room, with a lighter more open effect.
Contemporary styles; modern furniture tends to be less detailed and to achieve the effect of
modernity simple lines and angles will be more effective.
High foot end beds are most suitable for:
Larger bedrooms; the status of the bed is increased as it becomes a main feature of the room,
framed by the head and foot end. It can complete a bedroom suite and add continuity to the
design of your room, as well as a hint of luxury.
More traditional or romantic styled rooms.
The only thing to consider is budget and space, if you have the available space,
a king size bed provides that extra bit of room that adds to the comfort of a good
nights sleep. The difference in cost is very small in both the bedframe and mattress
throughout the ranges we stock.
